*Latest News* Macaulay Institute Murder, Mystery & Microscope Event Named the ‘Best Live Communications Event’ at CiB Scotland Awards 2000

The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute is running a series of events delving into the science behind fictional crime with 'Murder, Mystery and Microscopes'.

Crime fiction comes face to face with science fact as the fictional forensics of crime writer Stuart MacBride are put under the microscope by a group of real-life CSIs.

Separating crime fiction from crime fact are:

Forensics expert Professor Dave Barclay from The Robert Gordon University,

Dr Lorna Dawson, Head of Soil Forensic Science at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute,

Dr James Grieve, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Pathology at the University of Aberdeen and a Police Forensic Pathologist.

View profiles of the author and experts.
